§ 02Study · The README

About This Dataset#

This dataset contains behavioral events and intracranial electrophysiological recordings from a categorized free recall task. The experiment consists of participants studying a list of words, presented visually one at a time, completing simple arithmetic problems that function as a distractor, and then freely recalling the words from the just-presented list in any order. The data was collected at clinical sites across the country as part of a collaboration with the Computational Memory Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.

Unique to this paradigm is the semantic construction of the word lists. Each word comes from one of 25 semantic categories, and each list of 12 items contains 6 pairs of same-category words from 3 different categories. This means that each list has 4 words from 3 semantic categories, and in each half of the list there will be 1 pair of words from each category. For example, if a list contains words from categories A, B, and C, a possible list construction would be:

A1 - A2 - B1 - B2 - C1 - C2 - A3 - A4 - C3 - C4 - B3 - B4

Categorized Free Recall: Delayed Free Recall of Word Lists Organized by Semantic Categories

Description

To Note

* The iEEG recordings are labeled either “monopolar” or “bipolar.” The monopolar recordings are referenced (typically a mastoid reference), but should always be re-referenced before analysis. The bipolar recordings are referenced according to a paired scheme indicated by the accompanying bipolar channels tables. * Each subject has a unique montage of electrode locations. MNI and Talairach coordinates are provided when available, along with brain region annotations. * Recordings were made on multiple different systems, so we have done the scaling to provide all voltage values in V.

__init__(cache_dir: str, query: dict | None = None, s3_bucket: str | None = None, **kwargs)[source]#
save(path: str, overwrite: bool = False, offset: int = 0)[source]#

Save datasets to files by creating one subdirectory for each dataset:

path/
    0/
        0-raw.fif | 0-epo.fif
        description.json
        raw_preproc_kwargs.json (if raws were preprocessed)
        window_kwargs.json (if this is a windowed dataset)
        window_preproc_kwargs.json  (if windows were preprocessed)
        target_name.json (if target_name is not None and dataset is raw)
    1/
        1-raw.fif | 1-epo.fif
        description.json
        raw_preproc_kwargs.json (if raws were preprocessed)
        window_kwargs.json (if this is a windowed dataset)
        window_preproc_kwargs.json  (if windows were preprocessed)
        target_name.json (if target_name is not None and dataset is raw)
Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    Directory in which subdirectories are created to store

    -raw.fif | -epo.fif and .json files to.

  • overwrite (bool) – Whether to delete old subdirectories that will be saved to in this call.

  • offset (int) – If provided, the integer is added to the id of the dataset in the concat. This is useful in the setting of very large datasets, where one dataset has to be processed and saved at a time to account for its original position.
